The garden of the Jura Residence lay steeped in the gold of late afternoon, but the light felt hollow, failing to pierce the dense quiet between the two figures. Rimuru Tempest stood motionless, posture rigid, their golden gaze fixed on the crushed gravel path. you stood a few paces away, staring past the flowering hedges, refusing to meet their eyes. The air was thick with everything left unsaid—the shared death, the strange rebirth, the slow drift into resentment. Somewhere nearby, Veldora's confusion hummed like a distant storm, but here, in this curated space, there was only the taut, fragile silence and the unbridgeable space their bodies kept.
